ance, because they may explode.
Do not place food products directly against the air
outlet on the rear wall. (If the appliance is Frost Free)
Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been
thawed out.
Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
Appliance's manufacturers storage recommendations
should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant in-
structions.
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer
compartment as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage
to the appliance.
Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight
from the appliance.
Care and cleaning
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Do not clean the appliance with metal objects.
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the ap-
pliance. Use a plastic scraper.
Regularly examine the drain in the refrigerator for de-
frosted water. If necessary, clean the drain. If the
drain is blocked, water will collect in the bottom of the
appliance.
Installation
Important! For electrical connection carefully follow the
instructions given in specific paragraphs.
Unpack the appliance and check if there are dam-
ages on it. Do not connect the appliance if it is dam-
aged. Report possible damages immediately to the
place you bought it. In that case retain packing.
It is advisable to wait at least four hours before con-
necting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in
the compressor.
Adequate air circulation should be around the appli-
ance, lacking this leads to overheating. To achieve
sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to
installation.
Wherever possible the back of the product should be
against a wall to avoid touching or catching warm
parts (compressor, condenser) to prevent possible
burn.
The appliance must not be located close to radiators
or cookers.

appliance should be carried out by a qualified electri-
cian or competent person.
13
This product must be serviced by an authorized Serv-
ice Centre, and only genuine spare parts must be
used.
Environment Protection
This appliance does not contain gasses which
could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrig-
erant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall
not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rub-
bish. The insulation foam contains flammable gases: the
appliance shall be disposed according to the applicable
regulations to obtain from your local authorities. Avoid
damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near
the heat exchanger. The materials used on this appli-
ance marked by the symbol
are recyclable.
Operation
Switching on
Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium
setting.
Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature regulator
to the "O" position.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings
to obtain the minimum coldness.
turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings
to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
room temperature
how often the door is opened
the quantity of food stored
the location of the appliance.
Important! If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the
lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing
frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must
be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the
interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell
of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders,
as these will damage the finish.
Daily use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh
food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the
medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the tem-
perature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the
maximum coldness.
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this
occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer
setting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appli-
ance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
14
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been
off for longer than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room tem-
perature, depending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigera-
tor are equipped with a
series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
Important! Do not move
the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer and the
bottle shelf to ensure cor-
rect air circulation.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food
packages of various
sizes, the door shelves
can be placed at different
heights.
Gradually pull the shelf in
the direction of the ar-
rows until it comes free,
then reposition as re-
quired.
Important! this appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this country it
must be provided with a special device (see figure)
placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate
the coldest zone of it.
Helpful hints and tips
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or
tubing. This is correct.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound
and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is
correct.
The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking
noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenom-
enon. This is correct.
When the compressor switches on or switches off,
you will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regula-
tor. This is correct.
Hints for energy saving
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open lon-
ger than absolutely necessary.
If the ambient temperature is high and the Tempera-
ture Regulator is set to low temperature and the ap-
pliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so
a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
15
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour
position food so that air can circulate freely around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on
the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the
most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be cov-
ered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
When in contact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic
parts of your fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep
citruses in separate containers.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or poly-
thene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored
in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed,
must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in
24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food
to be frozen should be added during this period;
only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs;
prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapid-
ly and completely frozen and to make it possible sub-
sequently to thaw only the quantity required;
wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which
is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature
of the latter;
lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones;
salt reduces the storage life of food;
water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the stor-
age time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you
should:
make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs
were adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer
than absolutely necessary;
once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot
be refrozen;
do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cool-
ing unit; maintenance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and some neutral soap.
regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to en-
sure they are clean and free from debris.
rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/
or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the
interior as this will damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at
the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation
will improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
16
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling
system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain
chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in
this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that
the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment
channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maxi-
mum coldness and run the appliance for two or
three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do
not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to
speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise
of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take
the following precautions:
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
remove all food
defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all
accessories
leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant
smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it
once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling
in case of a power failure.
What to do if…
Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do
the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
